97896-5

LOINC code 97896-5 identifies "Self-care panel [R-Outcomes]". The self-care panel identifies patients' self-management of diet, physical activity, weight, and medication. Each level is indicated using a traffic-light metaphor with written labels, color, position and emojis. For individuals, each item response level is scored on a 0-3 ordinal scale, with strongly agree = 3, agree = 2, neutral = 1, and disagree = 0. A summary score is calculated by adding together the item scores for all items and giving a scale from 0 to 12. A summary score is not calculated if any item scores are missing. For cohorts, mean scores are shown on a 0 to 100 scale. Item scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 3; summary scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 12. Mean scores are usually rounded to the nearest whole number.[PMID: 32198234]
